Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand shower for sanitary purposes, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a water outlet fitting ( WO 98/28496 ), in which in a hand shower lighting effects are generated.
  • multicolored light emerges from the jet exit disk.
  • the light source for generating this light is located at the end of leading to the hand shower hose.
  • a light guide is present, which leads the light from the hose to the jet disk. Power is supplied through the hose.
  • a light source is arranged in the shower head, which is connected via an electrical line to a voltage source ( WO 95/29300 ).
  • a shower is known, are arranged in the shower head LEDs. These are powered by a generator arranged in the shower head, which is driven by a turbine ( DE 201 01 460 ).
  • a water outlet fitting with a fitting body which has a beam exit surface, a light source in the shower head, a battery for operating the light source and a coupling device for coupling the battery to a charging device ( WO01134917 ).
  • a shower or shower head with a light source for ultraviolet light is known to disinfect the water flowing through the shower head water ( DE 20105341 ). This is not visible light.
  • the invention is based on the object to design a hand shower so that it is suitable for emitting light, but that they do not require special supply hoses or other maintenance.
  • the invention proposes a hand shower with the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
  • the bulbs that is, the devices that generate the light are now arranged according to the proposals of the invention in the hand shower itself, so no longer in the hose.
  • a battery which is also arranged in the hand shower.
  • a coupling device is provided, which can connect the battery to a charger, by which the battery is recharged.
  • the coupling device includes a coupling element, which may be arranged in a further development of the invention preferably in a handle of the hand shower, usefully in the region of the hose connection end of the handle.
  • the charger also has a coupling element which cooperates with the coupling element of the hand shower.
  • the hand shower is designed for mechanical connection to a holder. It is known in hand showers that they are inserted after use or during showering in a special holder. This holder can be designed so that it determines the hand shower in a specific position, so that the hand shower can then be used as a body spray or overhead shower. For this purpose, the holder attacks, for example, at a certain Place the hand shower, preferably in the region of the end of the handle on which the shower hose is screwed.
  • the invention now proposes in a development that the hand shower is designed such that in its mechanical connection with the holder, the coupling device is effective.
  • the docking device automatically becomes active, so that the battery located in the hand shower is recharged. The whole thing can happen without the user intervening, even without knowing it.
  • the light source arranged in the hand shower can, for example, have at least one, preferably a plurality of LEDs. These are suitable for emitting light at low power consumption. There are LEDs in a wide variety of colors, so that the color can be used in addition to the light itself as a design tool.
  • LEDs can be arranged in the beam exit surface so that they can be perceived directly from the outside by the user. For a jet exit face with many small but separate exit nozzles, this can give a visually appealing appearance.
  • LEDs are arranged behind the jet exit disc, for example, in the water-leading area and emit their light into the water, which then as illuminated water jets leave the jet exit disc.
  • LEDs are arranged behind the jet exit disc, for example, in the water-leading area and emit their light into the water, which then as illuminated water jets leave the jet exit disc.
  • the battery and possibly other required for charging the battery components are arranged in the handle. Since hand showers are relatively short in operation, small batteries are sufficient, so that by accommodating the battery in the handle no enlargement of the handle is required. There is enough space for a small battery available. Since the charging process is initiated by the back of the hand shower in their holder and the duration of the remaining of the hand shower in the holder is significantly longer than the use of the hand shower, a small battery is always charged sufficiently.
  • the coupling device can, for example, work inductively, as is known with electrically operated toothbrushes. In the case of the small currents occurring here, however, a coupling device with metallic contacts can also be provided.
  • FIG. 1 shown hand shower, when it is not used, inserted into a holder 1.
  • the holder 1 includes a connection sheet 2, which is screwed with its one horizontal leg 3 in a water pipe of the house installation. The right angle of this leg 3 projecting generally down leg 4 is used to screw one end of a shower hose.
  • the holder is then fastened with devices not shown on the wall.
  • a transformer 5 is included, which is provided with a power supply, such as the light network of the house. Via a line 6, which is shown only schematically, the transformer 5 is connected to a coupling element 7 of a coupling device. Details of such coupling devices are well known and are therefore not explained here.
  • the transformer 5 and the leading to the coupling element 7 line 6 form a charging device in the illustrated embodiment.
  • the transformer can also be arranged outside the holder at any other point of the building. Then the line leading to the coupling element forms the charging device.
  • a cone holder 8 In the front end of the holder 1, a cone holder 8 is inserted, which can be pivoted there about a horizontal axis by a certain angle. In the illustrated position, the cone holder 8 has reached its one end position. In the open towards the front passage 9 of the cone holder 8, a union nut is normally held at the end of the shower hose, which is screwed onto the thread 10 of the handle 11 of the hand shower. For the sake of simplicity, this is not shown here.
  • the hand shower 12 shown here only schematically has a handle 11, one of the shower hose associated with the end of the holder 1 is inserted. At the opposite end of the hand shower 12 goes into a shower head 13, which has a jet disk 14 towards the front. From the jet disk 14 different types of water jets emerge through openings present there. The front surface of the jet disk 14 forms a jet exit surface.
  • FIG. 1 Inside the shower head 13 bulbs, z. B. several LEDs 15 are arranged, of which the FIG. 1 only two shows. These are connected via schematically indicated lines 16 with a battery 17 which is housed in the handle 11.
  • the battery 17 is connected via a rectifier 18 and a line 19 with a coupling element 20 in connection, which is housed at the end of the handle 11, that it can cooperate with the coupling element 7 in the holder 1.
  • the two coupling elements 7, 20 together form a coupling device, by means of which electricity can be conducted into the battery 17 as soon as the hand shower is inserted in the holder.
  • the two LEDs 15 are arranged in the space behind the jet disk 14. This space is designed so that the water flows through the openings of the jet disk 14 through it.
  • the LEDs are located immediately behind corresponding jet outlet openings, so that they illuminate the water jets from the inside. Due to a total reflection, the light propagates in these water jets, as long as they still emerge as together hanging water jets from the jet exit disc 4. The user therefore sees illuminated water jets when showering, which, depending on the type of LEDs, may also have different colors.
  • FIG. 2 shows the hand shower 12 used in the holder 1 from the front. Again, the shower hose is left out.
  • the jet exit disc is no different from a conventional jet exit disc because the LEDs are located inside the housing and the housing is also no different from a conventional hand shower.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the LEDs 15 are arranged directly in the jet exit disc 14. They can therefore be seen directly.
  • the lighting means which are formed by LEDs in the illustrated embodiment, for example, can always be supplied with power so that they always light.
  • the charger which is formed from the transformer 5 and the lines 6. If the hand shower is removed from the holder, so that the coupling device is ineffective, they get their power from the arranged in the handle battery 17. As soon as the user puts the hand shower back into the provided holder, there is again a charging of the battery without the User to take any special action. He does not even need to know that charging is now taking place.
  • the charging device is effective to turn off the light source.
  • the hand shower is plugged into the receptacle, can arranged in the hand shower electronics turn off the light source.
  • the electronics can recognize this state, for example, from the fact that a charging process is taking place.
  • the bulbs are then turned on when the hand shower is put into operation, so it is removed from the holder.
